This session highlights examples of innovative information communication technologies (ICTs) used for HIV programming among MSM by global, national, and community-based organizations. It offers lessons learned from ICT models used to address “leaks” in the HIV Cascade – from prevention (including PreP), testing, linkage to care and treatment, adherence and viral suppression.

The benefits of partnerships between community-based, government and private sector partners are a major part of this discussion. This talk-show style format increases visibility of MSM use of ICTs in a community-based response to HIV, understanding of innovative and effective community-based communication ICT programming among MSM and increase opportunities for collaboration between community-based organizations, government and the private sector.
